The 4th International Conference on #Bacteriophage Research and #AntimicrobialResistance is happening at the University of Madras, Guindy Campus, Chennai, India September 28-30, 2023.

In this CIDRAP podcast episode, 'Phage Against the Routine', Steffanie Strathdee, Greg Merril, Patrick McGann, and Jason Bennett discuss how infections caused by resistant Acinetobacter impact patients and new treatments.

Akos Nyerges (Harvard Medical School) and colleagues published a new paper on developing a genetic firewall to prevent viral infections and gene transfer in organisms, which could be used to make any organism resistant to all natural viruse

In a new preprint, Rebekah Silva and colleagues from New England Biolabs report the first in vitro reconstitution of phage Mu's DNA hypermodification (glycine harvested from tRNA to hypermodify adenine) from purified components.

In a new paper in Scientific Reports, Nader Abdelhamied (Zewail City of Science and Technology, Egypt) and colleagues describe a new phage-based biosensor for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7.

In a new paper in PHAGE, Janet Nale (University of Leicester) and colleagues examine the activity of phages to control the growth of chicken and swine Salmonella strains in avian, porcine, and human cell cultures. They found that a six-phag

The Scottish Health Technologies Group has published advice on the use of phage therapy for the Scottish National Health Service. It recommends that phage therapy may be appropriate for patients with difficult to treat bacterial infections

This week Jessica Sacher talks about how to use qPCR to count phage and bacteria in patients during phage therapy. This is part I of a multipart series. Lots of people have done phage therapy, but in most cases, phages and bacteria haven’t

Targeting Phage Therapy 2023: Towards Rethinking, Reshaping & Redesigning Future Medicine Targeting Phage Therapy 2023 aims to discuss all issues to bring phage therapy to another level. During Targeting Phage Therapy 2023, international s

The University of Pittsburgh is seeking a Research Specialist in the Department of Biological Sciences to perform advanced experiments in a microbiology laboratory that are aimed at understanding the diversity of Actinobacteriophages.

The University of Exeter is looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to participate in a project on the role of phage communication systems for phage lysis/lysogeny decisions.

The Jiang lab at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking postdocs in the area of bioinformatics and data science. The goal of the lab is to develop computational tools and approaches that

From the Phagebiotics Research Foundation: Greetings Phage friends! The 25th biennial International Evergreen Phage Meeting is set to kick off in person, in full Evergreen fashion, with Dr. Betty Kutter at the Evergreen State College. Mar

In this LinkedIn post, Leonard Theron (RumeXperts) discusses the upcoming Phage Academy event in Belgium and the importance of phages in bovine disease management.

Intralytix has received an SBIR Phase III grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to optimize SalmoFresh™ application for small and medium poultry and meat producers.

Paul Hyman (Ashland University, Ashland, Ohio, USA) and colleagues have published a paper indicating that using multiple hosts during phage isolation does not select for phages with broader host ranges.

In this paper, Charles Dulberger and colleagues use live-cell fluorescence microscopy to visualize the spatiotemporal dynamics of mycobacteriophage infection in single cells and populations, showing that infection is dependent on the host n

Justin M. Jenson et al. published a new paper in Nature entitled Ubiquitin-like Conjugation by Bacterial cGAS Enhances Anti-phage Defence. In the paper, the authors show that Cap2 forms a thioester bond with the C-terminal glycine of cGAS a

In this issue of Cell, Brianna Duncan-Lowey et al. and Yina Gao et al. both show RADAR proteins assemble into massive molecular complexes but present distinct views about how these assemblies obstruct phage.
